RABAT, Morocco (AP) - Moroccans unable to access the video-sharing Web site YouTube since last week expressed fears Tuesday that the government had stepped up its campaign to restrict independent media.
Moroccan bloggers were surprised to discover they could no longer open YouTube on Friday and promptly launched online forums to speculate about whether the site had been censured.
Najib Omrani, a spokesman for state-controlled Maroc Telecom, which supplies most Internet access in Morocco, blamed the problem on a technical glitch but could not explain its nature or why it affected only the YouTube site.
